1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) is a very rare and aggressive lymphoproliferative disorder. We present a 70-year-old man with complaints of fatigue, low urinary output, and peripheral edema for one month. Objectively, he presented diminished respiratory sounds bilaterally and peripheral edema. Analytical study revealed mild anemia and mild lymphomonocytosis, acute kidney injury, and urinalysis with proteins, leukocytes, erythrocytes, and cylinders. Chest radiography was consistent with pleural effusion. Subsequent study showed new onset of thrombocytopenia with a progressive increase of lymphocytosis, in association with inguinal adenopathies and splenomegaly. Immunophenotypic study of peripheral blood and lymph node biopsy were compatible with the diagnosis of T-PLL. Negative serology for human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) excluded adult T-cell leukemia. Progressive changes in the peripheral blood smear were seen, finally showing the presence of lymphocytes with a cerebriform nucleus, revealing this variant. There was a rapid catastrophic progression, spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome, and death.
